The problem is that cdrecord only will record on SCSI devices, not IDE.
This can be fixed by telling the kernel to make your IDE drive an emulated 
(virtual) scsi device.

You add the following to your boot parameters:

 	hdg=ide-scsi

This will create an emulated (virtual) SCSI device using /dev/hdg.

Carp are bottom feeders, koi are too, and not surprisingly are ferrets.
